Yesterday, when one OF the guards told
him that the papers had published his letter
to D. D. Lum, the young bomb msnnfac
turer. hs expressed strong desire to "read
it in English" Jaier Folz consented, and
Lingg slowly plodded through the transla'
ton. Englehart speaks German. and when
appealed TO gave Lingg the meaning Of
Eugish words in German
The doomed man esid the letter was an
admirable translation of The original. Turn.
ing to another page of the paper, his eye
caught the line: "Lingg will surely hang"
Calling Englehart, he asked: "What is the
meaning OF this word su ely in Ger
man" Englehart told him and Lipgg
nughingly observed, $50. so; will
s.u rely baDg?" His manner was such
that Euglehart Joined in the laugh. "Say,"
the blonde haired young anarchist called to
reporter. did you see my Maedschen ?"
He was told that Eda Mueller had not been
seen and his next query was, HAS my
schatz (swsctheart) gone to Springfield ?"
This question was answered in the atlirma-
tive. He seemed pleased end remarked thr t
if he could have seen her he would have
told her to stay at home. O'Neil, one of the
two guards who remain en- duty before
Linggs cell throughout the day, declared
that Lingg was the coolest man in Cook
county Jail. He was very pale hut his
appetite was good and he slept we'll.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-The Govern
er has just informed an Associated Press re-
porter that be will announce his decision 10
the anarchist case during the day, iatimating
that he would before 6p. m. Intense excite
ment prevails here over the crisis in the all
absorbing anarchist case. The Governor is
closeted in his Office at tie Mansion and re.
| fuses to see any one. Action of some kind
s expected every hour. A messenger has
F! Just hurried to the Mansion with the intelli.
geuce that Lingg has blown his head of
with dynamite cap. The Governor is said
to have abstained from oil expression o.
surprise or horror at the news. II is conf
IDENTIFY believed here that The Governor will
! TO. day commute the sentence of Fielder,
| SPIES and Schwab to imprisonment for life
or varying terms, or else grant temporary
respite to all the condemned men. There
is no longer room for doubt that the case OF
every anarchist who maintains refusal TO ask
for clemency ia hopeless. Governor Oglesby
asked one of the leading friends of the an,
archists last evening if he though: clemeucy
would reasonably be expected for man
who refused to ask for it. This ia regarded
as conclusive iDtimation tina! no clemency
will be extended to any OF those who per.
sist in refusal 10 ask for mercy. Capt.
Black has te!egraphed friends here that he
hopes to secure petition for cemency from
Parsons this morning. When this is re.
ceiyed he will doubtless at once wire the
Governor of his success in that direction
and ask bis Excellency to take action just
as though the plea were in his possession.
Spies has written letter to GJv. Oglesby
asking his Excelleucy if banging him alone
will not be sufficient to satisfy the clamor
for the blood of the anarchists. He still
thinks himself martyr to the cause he ad-
vocated.
